Blinding Lights
Vision-stealing radiance ahead
"Blinding Lights" is a 2019 song by the Weeknd, a synth-pop track that became one of the most successful singles in chart history.
The phrase itself describes lights intense enough to impair vision—headlights on a dark road, stadium floods, the glare of fame.
The song uses the image to evoke disorientation and longing: I'm blinded by the lights.
